Chapter 146 Autumn Defense



Liu Renxiu couldn't help but feel in a good mood and waved at her.

The emperor's move alarmed all the ministers.

"Hula,"

Everyone dodged to the sides, and Song Jinxiu was revealed at once.

Song Jinxiu pointed at herself.

Liu Renxiu nodded and pointed to the left prime minister Wei Zhen and said, "Come here and stand there from now on."

"oh,"

Song Jinxiu ran over happily and stood in the first row, next to Left Prime Minister Wei Zhen.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the position."

Everyone: What a kid, what dynasty is this? This study is almost the same.

Isn't the emperor too pampered to her?

The eldest prince standing on the other side of Wei Zhen's eyes flickered. Is this the teacher that our father found for us princes?

At such a young age, could you really know the Nine Causes of the Great Dao?

Seeing the loving look in his father's eyes when he looked at her, the eldest prince suspected: Could it be that she is his father's illegitimate daughter who has been exiled to the common people?

"Well," the emperor nodded with satisfaction. Standing here, he could see everything at a glance. It was very good.

Standing in front, Song Jinxiu finally saw the young talents on TV.

Wen Zuowu 녿,

The first one among the civil officials is the eldest prince Liu Bingchi.

This person standing in the front row of the civil officials, looking to be around twenty years old, should be the eldest prince Liu Bingchi mentioned by Nanny Lin.

On the civil service side, there is only this one young man, and of course, there is now one more person, Song Jinxiu.

However, there are several young military officers among the military officers on the border.

Therefore, the second handsome man Song Jinxiu saw was Zhu Chenbei, the Imperial City Envoy.

From the side, this person is tall, with slanted eyebrows and thin lips tightly pursed, giving him a feeling of coldness, arrogance and loneliness.

The Imperial City Division was the emperor's eyes and ears, engaged in secret espionage operations, and monitored the army and officials. This is equivalent to the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty.

The third commander of the imperial guards is Qi Chenghua. Although he has an ordinary appearance, he looks strong and powerful, and he looks like he can defeat thousands of troops alone.

The fourth major general is Wei Qidong. He has a dignified appearance, a handsome figure, and is full of vigor and vitality.

You have to be young these few years!

The three young generals were all in their twenties, in their prime.

Is this right? Officials must be younger. Otherwise, what’s the point of the emperor facing a bunch of old men with orange peels every day?

When the morning court bell rang, the emperor suddenly became serious and began his morning court.

The emperor said in a clear voice: "The northern barbarians have been a nuisance since ancient times. They often invade the border in autumn and cause trouble..."

At today's court meeting, we will discuss autumn defense.

That is, to discuss how to prevent harassment from ethnic minorities outside the Great Wall.

Autumn is the time when northern nomadic peoples invade the south, because the weather is clear and cool, which is suitable for marching. At the same time, the northern grasslands have entered autumn and life is difficult. The nomadic peoples may go south to plunder due to resource shortages.

Therefore, Cangwu would strengthen its border defenses in the autumn, dispatch troops to guard the frontier fortresses, and strengthen the defense capabilities of the border. Prevent foreign invasion.

Minister of War Zhou Kunran said: "This year, Beirong has ascended the throne. In order to guard against attacks on border towns and establish prestige, the number of soldiers recruited to participate in the autumn defense should be doubled."

The Minister of Revenue frowned and said, "If the number of soldiers doubles, the military pay must also double. This is not appropriate."

The Minister of Personnel also said: "We have been conscripting soldiers for three consecutive years. Today we must let the people rest and recuperate for a year."

Song Jinxiu didn't know much about this. So she just listened and didn't comment.

However, she did not speak, but someone forced her to speak.

Minister of War Zhou Kunran looked at her and said, "Does our little prodigy have any good ideas?"

Everyone looked over, some were curious, some were disdainful, what did a little brat know?

Is Mr. Zhou sick? You're asking a young girl about such an important military and national matter?

The Nine Causes of the Great Dao is just a math skill, not omnipotent.

No matter how beautiful and realistic a color painting is, it is just a painting. Can a little girl solve the problem by just doing some math and drawing?

How ridiculous!

Zhou Kunran received everyone's questioning gaze and felt a little regretful.

Didn't you just get frustrated that day? If there is a chance to regain the throne, why bother in the court?

It's just that I saw the little girl pretending to be thoughtful just now, and I couldn't help but ask.

Song Jinxiu learned from the public opinion that the Northern Rong "hunted animals for a living, moved with livestock, and scattered in the valleys, without permanent cities or farming."

It's just a nomadic people.

Since they make their living by raising livestock, they are brave and good at riding and shooting.

Then our horses must be good.

At the same time, she also thought of the canned Beirong beef from her previous life.

What should I do if I really want to eat braised beef in soy sauce?

Song Jinxiu touched the corner of her mouth when her thoughts were interrupted by the Minister of War Zhou Kunran.

Seeing everyone looking over, she stood up and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, since the Beirong people make a living by nomadism, don't they have a lot of horses, cattle and sheep?"

The emperor nodded. "Well, they make a living from this, so of course there are a lot of them."

Song Jinxiu said: "Your Majesty, I have a plan to turn Beirong into a cattle and horse farm in Cangwu."

"Tsk! How shameless!"

Marquis Pingyang snorted coldly and turned his face away.

Everyone had different expressions, looking at the little girl who was not afraid of a tiger. Alas! Since you are young, you are not afraid of biting your tongue when you brag.

The emperor asked with interest, "Oh? Lord Song, tell me about it."

Song Jinxiu said: "The reason why the northern barbarians invaded the border is because they were short of food.

We have nothing to eat, so we came here to grab it.

What if we give us food? Wouldn't there be no war if there was food? ”

"Hahaha... Miss Song is really worthy of being a girl, a woman of kindness. We don't have enough food to eat, give us some? Let us eat our fill so that we have the energy to beat us?"

Zhou Kunran burst into laughter. With this IQ, he still wants to be an official? She was afraid that after teaching the Nine Causes of the Great Dao to the students of the Imperial Academy, her career as an official would be over.

The emperor also frowned. The child was indeed a child, and so was he. How could he expect a child to come up with any good strategies?

Song Jinxiu had no expression on her face and continued, "Food is not given for free. We can set up a shop in the border town and exchange food for our livestock."

"Ridiculous! Why would we use our precious food to exchange for these animals? Are we going to waste our food by raising them? Mr. Song, you are young, so I will just assume that you know nothing and not argue with you."

Pingyang Hou looked righteous and reprimanded: "If anyone else said such words, they would be suspected of being spies from the Northern Rong."

Song Jinxiu glanced at him and said, "Boss, why are you so anxious? You haven't finished your words yet."

She glanced at the emperor and continued, "We want good horses for war. We want the best cattle for ploughing."

When the noise died down, the emperor sat up straight.

Song Jinxiu smiled and said, "With oxen, we can improve our production in Cangwu. We can exchange the extra grain for war horses, cattle and sheep.

In this way, within a few years, the combat effectiveness of our Cangwu country will be significantly improved, achieving multiple goals at one stroke. ”

Zhou Kunran glanced at her and asked, "What if you don't want to exchange war horses and cattle with us, but only sheep? After all, sheep are what we have the most."

Song Jinxiu said: "It depends on you guys to negotiate with the family.

Anyone who trades with us must have a certain proportion of horses and cattle, otherwise there is no deal. As for the use of sheep..."

Song Jinxiu said here, smiling slyly,

"From wool to sheep bones, nothing will go to waste."

snort! Have you ever worn a wool sweater? Have you ever worn a sheepskin coat? Have you ever eaten mutton hotpot with lamb ribs?
